Japan is revolutionizing reforestation with AI-powered drones, planting forests 10 times faster than traditional methods! Using cutting-edge technology, scientists in Japan have developed drones that use LiDAR scanning to map terrain and analyze soil conditions. This allows them to find the best planting spots before launching biodegradable seed pods into the ground. These pods are packed with nutrients and fungi, ensuring high survival rates for new trees.
In wildfire-affected regions like Kumamoto, drone-based reforestation has shown impressive results over 80% of the planted seeds sprouted, proving that healing ecosystems from the air is more than just science fiction. With deforestation threatening global biodiversity, Japan’s AI-powered drones offer a fast, efficient, and scalable solution to restoring forests.
